Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the rules regarding contacts between members of his Department and those who are engaged in activities with extremist political groups.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

There are no specific rules regarding such contacts; staff are, however, expected to exercise general good sense and discretion in matters of this sort.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many pen-friendships and amateur radio contacts with nationals of Communist countries have been reported under the terms of memo 2/80 circulated by the principal establishment officer at his Department.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

None.
